    The current MacBook Air is well designed and thin if that is your thing. I like the Touch ID but would have liked a larger ssd dive than 256. Love the new grey colo as well

    This is a great machine. The new, smaller size is fantastic. Fingerprint ID is flawless. Retina screen makes a big difference. Fast and efficient. Mojave is a very good update. I like the dark mode(slick). One if the best upgrades I had in years from Apple.

    The new MacBook Air is a really nice and good looking laptop. It’s also super good if you’re trying to use it for creative purposes like photoshop or illustrator. All in all it’s a good buy if you want a convenient laptop that’s not that heavy, has 10 hours of battery life, and is a fast computer in general.

    I purchased this MacBook for my wife, as she is preparing for graduate school. Everything is working, as expected. The screen is crystal clear and the speed is superb. The only thing to be mindful of is that this laptop does not have a USB port, so you will need to purchase a dongle if you need USB access.

    The 2018 MacBook Air is a decent laptop with retina display in a thinner and lighter design. Very less tech specs for the price point. The Pros Thin and light design, Retina display, Nice aluminum chassis, Audio is good, Touch ID The Cons Expensive price point, Display brightness not good, Low speed i5 processor, limited ports, very poor battery capacity, struggling even with minimal number of apps open. Missed the return window :-(

    Bought this for my dad to replace his aging 2005 MacBook Pro. Talk about an upgrade!! He is super happy with the speed and features of this new MacBook compared to his old one. He's also very value conscious so he says that if this MacBook lasts as long as his old one he'll be super happy!! Easily portable for travel, great processing for basic laptop use. Fast processing and stable OSX are making life with his new MacBook Air good!! Again this machine is great for more basic processing such as web surfing, document creation and editing, and basic software tasks. If you are needing a machine for more intensive processing for things such as photos, video, audio recording, etc, I would recommend stepping up to the MacBook Pro.

    My oldest daughter will be heading to college in a few months and I wanted her to have her own laptop. This is the 3rd MacBook Air we own and I'd buy a 4th if need be. Fast and lightweight, it's the perfect model to have around the house or sending your kid off to school.

    I replaced my MacBook Pro with MacBook Air and I love it. The retina screen is crystal clear and feels half the weight of the pro. Easy to carry with me to work for lesson plans and great to have it home to work, browse or stream my favorite shows.

    Never owned a MacBook but I love this one. Small, light but has big screen and very fast for what I use it for. Setup was simple and moving my data from old Mac Mini was easy too. Nothing bad to say and keyboard seems much better than old style.

    My first Mac doesn't disappoint!

    This is my very first Mac and so far I absolutely love it. I have always had windows computers and they are nothing but issues and jumping through hoops to get them to work how they are supposed to. I have wanted an MacBook Air for a while, but waited until they updated it with a Retina display. The display does not disappoint. The build quality is nicer than anything I have ever used before. The battery life far exceeds my expectations. One of the big reasons I got this over a lower end MacBook Pro is because it has Touch ID. It works flawlessly and makes logging into the computer and websites, and using Apple Pay a breeze. The only complaint I have is that exporting a 4k video does take a little longer than if you had a MacBook Pro, but I don't do that often, so that is not a huge issue for me.

    finally upgraded to new computer. Love the Touch ID function. Battery lasts long, and very fast recharging. Compatible with all. my apple products. If you have other apple products, think it is worth the extra money for a MAC

    It’s lightweight, and screaming fast, I love it! I do hate that Apple insists on always having proprietary ports on everything, but it’s something I’ve gotten used to over the years, and is worth it to have such a nice machine

    My son loves his new Apple Macbook Air. It is the perfect size to fit in a school backpack and does not weigh him down. It is fast and he uses it everyday. It's an Apple product - is there really anything else to say!
